J. Williams created a dark futuristic world grounded in the military
rivalries, terror tactics, and political wrangling of our own time. Now

memories of the past suspect. Worse, the defeat of the mysterious
insurgent group known as Autumn Rain was not as complete as many
believed. It is quickly becoming clear that the group's ultimate goal is
not simply to destroy the tenuous global alliances of the 22nd century -
but to rule all of humanity. And they're starting with the violent
destruction of the Net and the assassination of the U.S. president. Now
it's up to Claire, with her ability to jack her brain into the systems
of the enemy, to win this impossible war.Battling ferociously
across the Earth-Moon system, and navigating a complex world filled with
both steadfast loyalists and ruthless traitors, Claire must be ready
for the Rain's next move. But the true enemy may already be one step
ahead of her.
